Irenic ... Written

Today's word is "irenic" ... why-REN-ik ... tending to promote peace or reconciliation; peaceful or conciliatory. (Dictionary.com)

Written
It was in a stable,
     that the irenic story was born.
A night with mother's moans,
     cattle lows. Then the humming lullaby.
It began in a common way,
     that most uncommon life;
and ended in a tragedy,
     by any human standard.
But an eternity is three days,
     in God's eyes. And time enough
          to save a world.
